Ye Yuning didn’t ask what was going on with Qi Mulan. She paid it no attention either! During dinner, Kang Xuan asked Ye Yuning to taste the soup and see what she thought of it.
Ye Yuning took a sip. "It’s very tasty."
"Really?"
"Mmm."
"I made it," Kang Xuan said proudly.
Ye Yuning raised her eyebrows. "You?"
"Yes," Kang Xuan nodded.
Although the housekeeper had helped, he had done most of the work.
Ye Yuning looked down at the soup in her bowl, montarily unsure what to say. Kang Xuan’s master was with Qi Mulan, yet he was here looking after her.
Ye Yuning said no more, just quietly sipped her soup.
The chicken in the soup was well-stewed too.
Ye Yuning hadn’t asked a single question about Xiao Linye from beginning to end, which made Kang Xuan quite anxious.
Finally, he couldn’t help but say, "Madam, should you give the Master a call?"
After all, she’s Xiao Linye’s wife. What does it an for the Master to be visiting Qi Mulan now? Anyone would find it unbearable!
Ye Yuning raised her eyebrows and gave him a look but said nothing.
Her gaze made Kang Xuan a little flustered. "If Madam doesn’t want to call, then please forget it."
Ye Yuning said, "Kang Xuan."
"Yes, Madam!"
"How long have you been with him?"
"Quite a few years now!"
"What did Qi Mulan usually do when she was by his side?" Ye Yuning asked directly.
Kang Xuan stiffened upon hearing Ye Yuning ask about Qi Mulan.
What did Qi Mulan mainly do by Xiao Linye’s side? Actually, not much.
"Not much, just cooking."
"Cooking?"
"Yes, Miss Qi always tried to please the Master, but he hardly ever ate the food she made."
Whether Xiao Linye ate it or not wasn’t important to her. What mattered was that Qi Mulan could enter and leave Xiao Linye’s world.
Ye Yuning lowered her gaze and said no more.
When Xiao Linye left, he said he wouldn’t return that night. What followed was unexpected.
「For the next month,」 Xiao Linye did not show up at Xiangti again.
Kang Xuan took ticulous care of Ye Yuning, terrified she might ask him to leave. At the sa ti, he was panicking. He completely couldn’t fathom what the Master was up to. Things are so critical right now! If this continues, does he even want to repair his relationship with Madam anymore?
Under his ticulous care, Ye Yuning’s health improved considerably. Her complexion wasn’t as pale as before; she looked well, with a healthy, rosy glow.
Ye Yuning started going to the studio for work.
She had said that she would accept all the compensation Xiao Linye offered, everything except him as a person!
Kang Xuan always stayed by her side, helping her deal with so work-related matters when they were at the studio.
During that month, Ye Yuning’s world was very quiet. Not only did Xiao Linye fail to appear, but neither did Gui Xingli nor Ling Yan. There weren’t even any phone calls. Only Qin Jinchuan showed up from ti to ti.
Ye Yuning didn’t mind; she just did what she needed to do.
One day, after finishing a eting, Ye Yuning returned to the office and handed three folders to Kang Xuan. "Kang Xuan."
"Yes, Boss."
Kang Xuan approached respectfully.
Previously at Xiangti, Kang Xuan had always called Ye Yuning ’Madam,’ a title she found quite annoying. Eventually, Kang Xuan, like Chen Wei, started calling her ’Boss.’
"Which of these three travel routes do you think is more worthy of investnt?" Ye Yuning asked.
Kang Xuan respectfully took them.
He then carefully began to look over them.
Over the past month or so, Ye Yuning had slowly gotten used to having Kang Xuan by her side. Moreover, having spent ti by Xiao Linye’s side, Kang Xuan had a rather unique perspective and sharp judgnt.
「Half an hour later.」
Kang Xuan handed one of the folders back to Ye Yuning. "I recomnd this one."
Ye Yuning took it and glanced at it.
She smiled after just one glance; clearly, this was the route she also favored most.
"Then let’s go with this one."
"No, don’t you want to take another look?"
Seeing the smile on Ye Yuning’s face, Kang Xuan was montarily lost in thought. In over a month, he had almost never seen her smile. She appeared indifferent to everything. But being by her side, he clearly sensed that her world seed to have lost its light. Thinking about what the Master was currently dealing with, Kang Xuan felt his heart ache a little looking at Ye Yuning like this.
Ye Yuning said, "No need to look further, this one will do!"
She then closed the folder and handed it back to Kang Xuan.
Kang Xuan, seeing her hand it to him, asked, "This is...?"
"Take this, estimate the budget needed to invest in this route, and then submit the application!"
"Huh? Application? What application?" Kang Xuan didn’t quite understand.
Ye Yuning replied, "Of course, you’ll apply to your boss. Who else do you think has that much money for one route?"
Kang Xuan’s lips twitched. My own boss? Apply to the Master? Oh, this is bad!
Having been by Ye Yuning’s side for so long, always calling her ’Boss,’ he’d almost forgotten who his true master was until she suddenly brought it up.
So, did she an the Master was to fund the entire investnt for this route?!
He rembered her ti in Turanxi. When investing in travel routes, didn’t she always have to coordinate extensively with the local tourism bureaus? Weren’t the other parties also required to contribute so funds?
What was this, then? Her personal investnt, funded by Seventh Master Qian?
